Bug#869541: lintian warns both with and without autotools-dev build-dep
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.52
I added calls to dh_autotools-dev_{update,restore}config to the debian/rules
for vile* in order to update/restore the config.guess/config.sub. I added a
versioned build-dependency for the version of autotools-dev which added these
commands:
autotools-dev (>= 20100122.1)
lintian issued the folowing warning:
W: vile source: useless-autoreconf-build-depends autotools-dev
If I remove the dependency, lintian then gives the error:
E: vile source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig => autotools-dev
